With last years re-release of seminal debut albums by Bauhaus and Gary Numan, the 2010 release sheet for the Beggars Archive series look just as compelling, if not moreso. For fans of The Fall, both “The Wonderful and Frightening World Of” and “This Nation’s Saving Grace” will be appearing, as well as the This Mortal Coil back catalogue, and Pixies‘ “Doolittle” apparently marked for blu-ray.
A powerhouse debut and its cathartic, brooding follow-up, Bauhaus‘ back catalogue is remastered and revived for the masses.
Get out your eyeliner and your crushed velvet blouse as The Cult’s Love is dusted down and dressed up in this sublime 4CD boxset.

Highly anticipated here at Webcuts HQ is the forthcoming album from the actress lady who married that whiney guy from Death Cab for Cutie, and the talented tunesmith, M. Ward, also known as She & Him. “In The Sun” is as pop perfect as they get folks, a bright, upbeat number, a little piano swing and a sweet helping of some Zooey Deschanel sass and Matt Ward soul, tied in a neat little three minute bow. The video clip itself is a school scene cross between “Grease” and Britney Spears “Baby One More Time” without the red leather catsuit (swap it for librarian chic), but with dance moves and fun galore. Taken from their forthcoming album Volume 2 “In The Sun” is released digitally by the kind people at Domino Records on March 29 and on 7″ single replete with a cover of the Beach Boys “I Can Hear Music” on the flipside for Record Store Day on April 17. I don’t know about you, but I could watch Zooey Deschanel wink at me aaaaaall day long.
